I went to the bank today and had a cashier's check made out to a coin dealer. The girl who wrote the check asked me if I collect coins. I said yes and she said she had something that I may want. She went to the back counter and took a 1936 S Buffalo nickel full date with full flat horn from the back counter. I asked her how much and she said five cents. Without a doubt I thanked her and told her how appreciative I was. I go to this bank because it's a nice little neighborhood bank and today it proved to be a good choice. I'm moving all of my holdings to that bank after today. |

Very nice. I have not found anything cool at a bank in quite some time.

Finding a bank like that is a rarity indeed! My bank just started to charge $4.25 per box of coins! Finding a teller that sweet is worth at least three fruit!   |

My tellers have so far only saved IKES for me (said they were halves), and at another bank the teller asked why I take out boxes. I said to look through them and I asked if he had any loose halves. He said no but asked if they were silver be fore a certain date, 1970 he said? So I says "yes" all silver before 1970 and I was kinda dissapointed. However, he didn't seem like the type who knew exactly what I was taking about.
Also, we got to talking about copper pennies and I said they made them in '82. So I hand the guy some pennies to make up for the dump and one of them is '82. He says "well this one is '82" and I say yeah I know but I can't tell which is which zinc or copper. he spent some time looking at it, I simply hope he doesn't hoard every copper penny he gets at the bank cause that would be a LOT and the manager would probably crank at him.

I already planned on that. Even if the chocolates are more than the nickel it's the thought that counts

Your really lucky. Around where I live I'd be lucky to see the same teller at a bank for more than two times. Turnover in the bank teller position it rapid here. Keep on talking to her. Who knows what else she will get for you.

I can't tell which is which zinc or copper. The weight will tell you. The 95% copper cents weigh about 3.1 grams. The Zinc coins weigh only 2.5 grams. |
